grafton association and the winding up
of the affairs of these corporations. The
first hearing in cOurtwill occur on Mon
day, when a receiver for the church
property is to be appointed. 1t is evil
dent the MOrmons are going to make a
legal fight.

A Widow Murdered.

CAIRO, ILL.,, Oct. ga widow named
Moore, aged about sixty years, was muir.
dered yesterday at her home near Wood

back of her head beaten to jelly. II
was evident that the object of the muir
derers was robbery, as the house had
been ransacked. There was large sum
of money in the house, but the murder
erS failed TO find if.

AMERICAN RAILROAD SPEED.
Fewer Accidents. but Far Less Speed
Than the English Railways.

Fewer Accidents. but Far Less Speed
Than the English Railways.
There is an impression on this side
of the Atlantic that railway accidents
in America are mainly due to the craze
for swift travel which characterizes our
cousins in the New World. In reality
the American trains travel, as a rule,
much more slowly than ours, and with
a less average of casualties than is year
ly put at the doors of the English rail-
way companies. For instance, the ex-
press train between New York and Al
bany average only 80 2-s miles per hour.
though the track is almost level, while
the Flying Scotchman" averages so
miles over a considerable part Of the
distOnce between London and Edin-
burgh. Between New York and Boston
the speed is rarely over 22ss miles an
hour, though the course is much easier
than that bet ween London and Manches-
ter, which is sometimes traversed at the
rate of Al 3-5 miles an hour. This speed
is indeed, only attained by one Ameri
can line-what may be called the Lin
tied Mail" between New York and Chi
cago, which charges heavy extra fare
for the accommodation afforded. TAX
ing them all round, the best English
trains exceed those of America fully 25
per cent. in speed.

Travers and the ENGLISH Orator


1t is due to Mr. William r. Travers that
this country still retains the palm for oratory
and volubility of speech. A few years ago a
Wanting and loquacious Britisher had ap-
peared in our midst to dispute the claim of
the national cup in oratory, as Rowell had
done for the belt in pedestrianism. 1t was in
the yachting season, and the voluble cham
pion was invited to accompany a party, of
which Mr.. Travers was the leading spirit,
down the bay, in Mr.. Travers' yacht. The
orator had talked nearly everybody within
earshot of his voice almost deaf. When the
party arrived at the dinner table, it was
ped that he would cease for a short time,
but when every other topic seemed exhaust
ed, as well as the patience of his listeners. he
started off with renewed huency on the sub
ject of oysters, which constituted the dish
then at table.
at is now debatable point among scien-
lists" he said, "as to whether or not the oyster
has brains"
Travers, who up to this time had endured
the inaiction of his verbose guest with the
calmness of Job, said: al th-th-ink the
oyster must have b-b-rains, because it
knows enough when to shut up"
By this satiric stroke the English orator
was dumfounded and almost paralyzed; his
fluent tongue ceased to wag with its usual
volubility, aud when requested to name his
time for the international contest, he begged
to be excused until cured Of his cold. He
took the next steamer for Liverpool, and has
not been heard of since. Thus Mr.. Travers'
ncisive remark about the mental attributes
of the oyster thoroughly squashed him and
saved the oratorical honor of our country

Since Phil Armour got his first twinge Of
rheumatic pain his physician has had very
rich thing of it. Every day for months, as
regular as everybody else in the Armour en-
ploy, DR. Horsey has called around at the La
Sale street Office to see his rich patient. He
takes a seat and watches Armour at his work.
] isn't his invariable custom to interrupt him
al his work. He often leaves without having
any interview at all. If he wants to have q
tdk they go into the "box" together, as the
l. tile private office in that establishment is
cllled This one patient is said to be worth
0,000 year to the handsome doctor, not
an extravagant figure, either, when it is re-
membered that he has dropped his general
practice for a month or more at q time, and
given his whole attention to this one big
patient. When Armour is ailing be wants to
get well in a great hurry. He does not want
bis doctor scattering. If good round fee
will get all his time, the fee is ready. He
wants to get doctor just as he'd get super
intendent for a packing house. He wants the
doctor to charge good fee, and, the fee being
paid there's the mischief to pay if the doctor
doesn't do what he's set at work to do-just as
thered be If the packing house superintendent
didn't do what he was hired for.-Chicago

Retaining Fertility by Rotation.

The grass sod, when hay begins to
fail, still contains a preat amonnt OF
fertility. The clover and other roots
have brought much up from the depths
and if crops have been at times some
what encouraged by "hand fertilizers,
through the original heavy dressing of
manure may have been all used up, the
soil will have improved both in texture
and fertility The grass may, indeed,
be kept up by top dressings, and on rich
bottom land we find, not unfrequently
permanent meadows" which yield pay
ing crops year after year without manur-
ing, and others which do so with occa-
sional top dressing of bone, lime, ashes
OF similar manures. Whether these
shall remain or shall be plowed up is a
question of profit, and it is often the
very worst policy to break up fairly
profitable meadows. When again laid
down to grass they may come full of
weeds, that will give bad flavor to
butter, or the catch may be irregular,
and it may be years before good, even
sod can be had and the same is especial
ly true of old pastures. Many different
rotations have been recommended, but
the principle is the same in all, and
what rotations should be followed, and
how they should be broken In upon. with
commercial crops, and whether or not
to repeat our crop several years in suc-
cession. etc, are matters Of policy for
individuals to determine. - American
